Days 1 - 3
From royal promenades and learning of Viking history to fjord cruises and modern art in Grünerløkka, your first step into Norway unfolds in layers - an exploration of country's modernity and how it arrived there.
Begin your journey in Norway’s vibrant capital, Oslo, where old-world royalty meets bold, modern design. On Day 1, settle in by strolling Karl Johans gate, Oslo’s central boulevard, before visiting the Royal Palace and enjoying a seasonal dinner at a harborfront restaurant in Aker Brygge. Day 2 blends art, nature, and seafaring history: start with the whimsical sculptures of Vigeland Park, then head to the Fram and Viking Ship Museums, which capture Norway’s deep relationship with the sea. Cap the day with a sunset fjord cruise, gliding past islands and inlets that fringe the city. On Day 3, explore Norway’s most iconic painter at the Munch Museum, then unwind in the creative neighborhood of Grünerløkka, full of street art, local design shops, and café culture. End with a rooftop cocktail by the waterfront.
Days 4 - 7
Winding through mountain railways, glacier-fed fjords, and Viking valleys, the western leg of the journey is a cinematic passage through Norway’s wild heart and coastal soul.
Trade cityscapes for soaring cliffs and glacial waters on Day 4 as you board the scenic Oslo–Bergen Railway, switching at Myrdal to ride the legendary Flåmsbana train, descending into the fjord-side village of Flåm. On Day 5, kayak across Aurlandsfjord, take a rib safari, or visit the panoramic Stegastein Viewpoint, then reward yourself with a craft beer at a cozy microbrewery. Day 6 invites a deep dive into Viking history and wild beauty: cruise through the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord, framed by towering cliffs, and explore the reconstructed longhouses in Gudvangen Viking Valley. On Day 7, make your way to Bergen via Voss, perhaps stopping to hike to a hidden waterfall, before wandering Bryggen’s colorful Hanseatic wharf and enjoying fresh seafood by candlelight.
Days 8 - 12
In the colourful harbours & houses of Bergen and Ålesund, and the edges of Geirangerfjord, nature and architecture are joined hand-in-hand in their appreciation for the sweeping views the coastline offers.
Begin Day 8 with sweeping views of Bergen from the top of Mount Fløyen, reached by the Fløibanen funicular, followed by visits to the Hanseatic Museum and bustling fish market. On Day 9, journey to Ålesund, known for its distinct Art Nouveau architecture, and admire panoramic vistas from Mount Aksla. Day 10 is dedicated to the iconic Geirangerfjord, where a boat trip or guided excursion offers front-row views of the Seven Sisters waterfall and tucked-away fjord farms. Day 11 invites a slower pace: walk coastal trails, visit the Atlantic Sea-Park, or spot sea eagles and seals on a wildlife sea safari. On Day 12, depending on your flight plan, travel back to Oslo or depart directly from Bergen or Ålesund, capping off a grand circuit of Norway’s most treasured landscapes.

Days 5 - 6
On your final days in the city, take a final walk to witness fortress views that will provide memories for life, whilst enjoying the everyday luxuries of the city; from quiet cafes to boutqiue stores and
Wander the fortress walls of Akershus, a medieval citadel perched above Oslo’s harbour - once built for protection and at the same time as a royal residence slighlty outside the city. Then follow the waterfront promenade, a walk that offers views of Oslofjord that can be followed in its entirety for up to two and a half hours. The contrast of medieval builgins like Akershus Fortress and more modern structures of Aker Brygge and Tjuvholmen. Conte recommends walking the route at your own pace and enjoying a leisurely afternoon meal or drink before taking an evening to rest before your final day.
On your last day, find yourself in Grünerløkka, Oslo’s artistic enclave. Browse local design shops and sip coffee in cozy local spots in the hippest of Oslo's neighbourhoods. The area is also full of exciting eateries if your preference is to return later for a trendy dinner reservation - the perfect end to an exciting trip exploring Norway's capital city.
Days 2 - 4
On the next few days, enjoy the deeper, treasured history of the country. Vikings, visionaries, and an aptitude for discovery - Oslo’s personality rings true through their cultural history and artistic leacy, all wrapped in a quiet fortitude.
Your second day starts with a deep dive into history at the Viking Ship Museum, where carved prows rise from centuries of silt, and you can trace the routes, ruins and burials of the Norwegian peoples forebears. With three of the best preserved Viking ships in the world, the museum itself is a force to be reckoned with and will likely take the full morning with a private historian. A few minutes walk away, tt the Fram Museum, the country's longtime relationship with polar expeditions comes alive through exhibits, artefacts and multi-media pieces.
The following day, contrast history with emotion at the Munch Museum, where contemporary art and Edvard Munch's pieces in particular are heralded and admired in equal measures. A short walk away, the Oslo Opera House stands tall as one of Oslo's central attractions, its rooftop views a masterpiece in themselves. Of course, if interested, Conte can organise for a visit to one of the evening performances in a private box to ensure you capture the breadth of Oslo's cultural soul as well. The afternoon of your third day promises some much needed green space with Vigeland park, famously not intended to exist if it weren't for the city's decision to keep the artist's growing portfolio near his own studio, it's size having outgrown its previous placements - the open parkland it was placed in then accordingly became Vigeland park!

Best Luxury Hotels in Norway: Conte's Seasonal Picks for 2025
Manshausen Island Resort
Mannshausen, Norway
Set above the Arctic Circle in the remote Steigen archipelago, Manshausen Island Resort rests on a private 55-acre island in Northern Norway. Founded by polar explorer Børge Ousland, the retreat features minimalist, award-winning sea cabins designed by Stinessen Arkitektur that appear to float above the fjord with floor-to-ceiling glass and larch-clad façades.
Alongside the individual cabins, the Main House serves as dining and social hub, with seafood-rich menus drawn from local fishing grounds; it’s also where guests gather for journals, chats and after-dinner drinks in the cozy Library and Lounge on the second floor. Activities range from Sea Eagle safaris and fishing, to cave visits, sea-kayaking and superb scenic treks of all different levels - of course, no stay is complete without Northern Lights watches and summer midnight-sun treks.
Henningsvær Bryggehotell
Lofoten, Norway
Set in the heart of the fishing village of Henningsvær on Norway’s Lofoten Islands, Henningsvær Bryggehotell is a new waterfront complex made up of eight modern buildings linked by a pier, seamlessly marrying the region’s maritime heritage with contemporary design. The hotel has 39 rooms, including 11 suites and 14 junior suites, many offering panoramic views of the sea and the surrounding mountains.
The on-site Vind Brasserie showcases northern Norwegian ingredients like freshly caught fish and shellfish with a modern Nordic touch, served in dining spaces overlooking the harbour. Daytime might begin with coffee on the pier; evening could bring the northern lights dancing above the fjord, and the truly exceptional location of this hotel brings its stand-out adventure opportunities.
Sommerro
Oslo, Norway
Transforming a 1930s landmark into a modern luxury destination, Sommerro stands in Oslo’s stylish Frogner district just steps from the Royal Palace. Housed in the former headquarters of the city’s electricity company, the building now offers 231 rooms and suites (including 56 branded residences) across an Art Deco-inspired restoration.
Guests can dine across multiple venues: Nordic-Japanese rooftop restaurant TAK Oslo, Izakaya Bar & Terrace with city-wide views, and Ekspedisjonshallen, the hotel’s grand all-day dining hall. Meanwhile, wellness lives on the roof: Sommerro offers Oslo’s first year-round rooftop pool and sauna, plus a vast underground spa housed in the restored Vestkantbadet bathhouse.
Brosundet
Ålesund, Norway
Once warehouses for local fisheries, Brosundet forms part of the historical heritage of the picturesque town of Ålesund. It's more than a stay, more than great food and carefully selected art. It's friendliness, calm, comfort, and a sense of finding a new home.
A destination where history meets urban curated luxury. The suites and rooms all have their own personal touch and no two rooms are the same. The soft lightening against the mellow richness of the wooden details, creates a space of comfort and calmness. Guests often find their own favourite, with views of the iconic Brosundet channel at one end and the colorful Art Noveau architecture on the other.
Union Øye Hotel
Sunnmøre Alps, Norway
Here in the Sunnmøre Alps, between the northwestern mountains of Norway, the charming Union Øye Hotel unveils its splendour. Nestled amidst the picturesque backdrop of the small hamlet of Øye, where the Norangsfjord reaches its inland home, this wonderful residence preserves its historical charm while living in harmony with its pristine surroundings.
Designed with warm Scandinavian decor, the 15 cosy rooms and 22 suites open up to panoramic views that will delight lovers of wide open spaces, for whom stays will be spent exploring unique landscapes and venturing deep into nature.
Storfjord Hotel
Skodje, Norway
This grand establishment of dark-timbered buildings, typical of traditional Norwegian architecture, is set upon a hill overlooking the fjord of the same name. Its log walls shelter warmly welcoming interiors: Comfortable furniture, antiques, and objets d’art create a chic, rustic ambiance in the living rooms and library, as well as in the rooms and suites blessed with spectacular views of the fjord and surrounding forest.
Whatever the season, Storfjord Hotel offers an authentically Norwegian stay: skiing in wintertime, cruises and fishing trips on the fjord, kayaking adventures, scenic hikes, bike rides, Nordic wildlife observation, and, of course, relaxing moments at the wellness center with panoramic views of the landscape. Fine dining, too, is part of the experience, ensured by Nils Flatmark, one of the most celebrated Scandinavian chefs, who respects every ingredient as he prepares inspired, regional cuisine for Storfjord Hotel’s guests.
